X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~8239
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=67624fc05490f8d794127365d5262bf2138e7ab8;p=dpdk.git

eal: allow external interrupt handler

Add RTE_INTR_HANDLE_EXT handler type for PMDs that do not support VFIO or
UIO.  Those are expected to manage the file descriptor themselves.
